Make a Difference

A distinguishing feature of social media is the focus on users, who not only only consume but also produce content. If the content is relevant, well-informed and of good quality, individual users can develop their own follower base, increase their profile and help shape debates.


For Bayer, user-generated content is an effective way to reach our target audiences outside of official channels. That is why we have created the role of social media advocates who produce independent content and further Bayer’s goals.
